Hi Guys,
I'm a 20 year old guy, having mild acne for about 4 years. I tried every possible solution but nothing helped. So my doctor gave me Accutane.
I have to take 20 mg a day.
It's now day 11 and i got around 10 whiteheads on my chin! Never had it this extreme before.
The whiteheads are filled with pus and i looks so nasty, i don't even want to go in public!
How is your experience with whiteheads and accutane? Is it only the first 2/3/4(?) weeks or during the whole session?
Thanks
yes same here ! im 36 ,started takin accutane 2 months ago now and since my dose was increased have lots of breakouts ,my face is absolutely covered with painful red spots that are sore to touch and then after a few days they turn yellow am hoping this gets better as i too dont want to leave the house without a bag over my head its embarrassing
Hang in there!! I experienced the initial breakout from Accutane a week in and my skin did not full clear until the last month on treatment (I was on it for 5 months total). Whatever you do, do NOT pick the really deep pimples, your skin is soo thin when you're on this medication therefore your chances of scarring are way higher than usual. But just be comforted by the fact that it WILL get better! Best of luck to you
